Overnight Oats with Berries and Walnuts

Oats are rich in soluble fiber, the kind linked with healthier cholesterol, and berries and walnuts add color, crunch and healthy fats. Mix a few jars at once for grab-and-go mornings.

Serves 1 · Prep 5 minutes · Chill overnight

Ingredients

• ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• ½ cup milk or unsweetened plant milk
• ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• ½ tsp cinnamon and a few drops of vanilla
• ½ cup blueberries or mixed berries
• 1 tbsp chopped walnuts
• 1 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional)

Directions

1. Stir the oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, cinnamon and vanilla together in a jar.
2. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or at least 4 hours.
3. In the morning, stir, add a splash of milk if it's too thick, and top with berries and walnuts. Sweeten lightly if you like.

Why we like it

The Greek yogurt and chia seeds add protein and more fiber, so this breakfast keeps you going longer than a pastry or sugary cereal. It keeps for up to three days in the fridge.
